The latest installment of harem-H manga series To Love-Ru Darkness has offered its usual array of tantalizing perversity, exposing the delectable bodies of its gorgeous girls while protagonist Rito further demonstrates his pathetically chaste ineptitude by way of his innumerable “accidents”…

Okay, so I don't follow To Love-Ru, nor do I think it sounds interesting from what I've learned about it, so I likely won't ever pick up reading it, (even though I do recognize the author's amazing ability to fly under the censorship radar, even with the "new and improved" censorship laws of Japan,) but I simply have to know: Is there any canon reason as to why the main character hasn't gotten laid yet? Like, is he holding out for when he gets married? Is there a childhood promise he's trying to uphold? Does he have coitophobia?

The actual reason is that he's trapped in a harem situation but he doesn't want to be because infidelity is wrong, but he also can't decide on a girl. The main plot is about one of the girls trying to convince him that polygamy might not be so bad.

Because he's saving himself for when he's ready. That, and he's developed close relationships with 80% of the female cast. For him to have sex with any one them would not only ruin their bond, it would also wind up being EXTREMELY uncomfortable and awkward.

Rito is probably the sorriest man in existence. I pity him. I'd never want to be him... all these woman around him all the time, teasing and teasing and getting into to love-ru and never once has he ever gotten to fuck one. I'd kill myself.
